DAY 57

My days are pretty routine at this point. 5am wake up when the Littleman climbs into my bed and proceeds to ninja kick me until I just give up and get myself ready for the day. Then I get him up and begin our "Potty, Toothbrushing, Face Washing" regimen or fight. Then it's breakfast time and preschool. Back home to check emails, print out daily job listings, prep letters, follow up emails etc. I'd forgotten how absolutely tedious the job hunt can be. I can't wait to be settled in a job and my own home.
Knitting progress has not been good but my friend Jane just had her baby so I really have to finish that baby blanket. I'd also love to send her some booties and a little hat and something for the new Big Brother. I miss my Cali friends so much. I hope I can visit sometime next year.

DAY 44

I can't wait to land a job. It is nerve racking to be unemployed and I'm only a couple of months into my joblessness. My child-free days consist of a quick run through errands, then sitting down and browsing all of my job search engines. I print out what looks interesting, then read it more carefully to see if I'm really eligible. It is not a fun process.

On the crafts front, I'm really not able to knit or spin at my sister's house. It's considered a waste of time and since I am a "guest," I feel obliged to do nothing but childcare, housework, and job search. Needless to say I am really looking forward to moving out and being free to do what I want, when I want.

After getting the Littleman to bed I did manage to play around with Garageband for a bit. I've been toying with the idea of starting a podcast. I don't expect a following, I just want to produce a nice show and gain some experience with the software. I may invest in a sensible microphone and get recording soon, we'll see
